Heiwa saw the person sitting on her kang and was stunned for a long time before she recognized Zhao Penglai, and then the two of them sighed. Heiwa looked at Zhaopeng for a long time, with a dirty blue cloth wrapped around her head; Wearing a faded blue cardigan shirt with a white cloth and a black patch on the shoulders, the placket of the shirt was too long, covering the front crotch and covering the buttocks; black cloth trousers, embellished with blue cloth and fuchsia patches; On his feet were a pair of black linen shoes, and the white cloth was wrapped around the toes all the way to the knees; From the veil on his head to the wrapping cloth underfoot, all the dried black scars stained with grass sap, sap, lacquer spots, and moss; His face was also covered with dirt, black dirt armor had accumulated in his ears and neck, and the hair exposed from his sideburns was glued into felt pieces, which could not be unified with the dashing and capable Lu Zhaopeng in a navy blue uniform in the primary school of Bailu Town, and he had completely become an authentic mountain man in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains. If you look for a flaw, it's that white tooth. Mountain people may not know how to brush their teeth by birth, or maybe it is because of drinking water, and ten out of ten front teeth are yellow, as if covered with a layer of yellow porcelain enamel. Lu Zhaopeng still retains the dazzling white teeth of the principal of Bailu Town Primary School. Heiwa smiled and said, "If it weren't for your white teeth, I wouldn't have recognized you at all!" Lu Zhaopeng smiled whiter and more dazzling: "You are now a strong man, you have made the world bigger, my brother has defected to you!"

Heiwa took the wine bottle from the shelf of the kang head, woke up the brother who was in charge of cooking, and brought the food that was left for him just now, in the dim light of the hanging oil lamp with a thick black smoke, the two of them raised the coarse porcelain bowl containing Qing Lingling's wine, Heiwa sighed loudly: "Oh, Brother Zhaopeng, I didn't think that our brothers would meet here!" I often think that we are afraid that neither of us will see anyone in this life and this life! Brother is now not concerned, no mother, no father, no mother-in-law, no baby, and he is a lonely bandit! Drink, drink, let's two brothers open up and drink...... "With the help of wine, Heiwa put him on Zhaopeng's hand, how to find the Xi brigade, how to train from a soldier to become a personal guard of the Xi brigade commander, how to participate in the riot and escape from death by stepping on the corpse like a wheat bundle, how to fall into the grass cottage and pour it out at once, and cried after speaking: "Brother Zhaopeng, I only heard you say that the poor man who made a revolution in the peasant cooperatives had to turn over, but he didn't expect to knock others off, but he made a mess of himself, and there was no place to stay......" Zhaopeng's face also turned red, He tore off the veil on his head and said loudly and calmly: "I know, I know." Heiwa glared and asked fiercely, "You know everything?" Have you ever seen a corpse as thick as a sheaf of wheat in the ground? Do you see the scene of the soldiers of the Xi brigade falling down on a stubble and stubble on a stubble, and then a stubble on and then a stubble? Do you know the scene when Brigadier Xi was holding a machine gun and his eyes were on fire? Brigade Commander Xi was still alive when I was shot, and then I don't know if he was dead or alive......" Zhaopeng still said quietly: "I know what you said." I was involved in planning the riot. Brigade Commander Xi didn't die for a while, and took the rest of his troops out of Tongguan to Henan, and fled to hide for a month, but he still didn't stand still...... He died with a machine gun on his pillow. This is the end of our only regular army capable of fighting. Heiwa asked: "The matter has passed, I want to ask you, when you planned the riot, did you think of this ending?" Lu Zhaopeng said: "I thought of it. Heiwa asked in surprise: "When you think of it, you still insist on stretching out your neck to get a knife?" Lu Zhaopeng still said calmly: "Have you forgotten the story of the 'seven-step poem' told by Brigade Commander Xi? To make a poem is to die, and not to be able to make a poem is to die! That's it. Heiwa sighed: "It's over." In the end, it was fried for the eldest brother. Lu Zhaopeng became impulsive: "It can't be finished, how can it be finished?" The real revolution has only begun now, Brother Heiwa!" Heiwa was pouring a sip of wine, glanced at Zhaopeng, lowered her head and silently picked up a piece of wild boar meat and chewed it, and it took a long time to find an appropriate sentence: "The revolution has begun, why do you have time to come to me?" Lu Zhaopeng also found an appropriate sentence: "Well, I like your good business...... It's time to move in. Heiwa immediately reacted keenly: "Brother Zhaopeng, you are joking." Zhaopeng said, "I'm not joking. I'm not leaving, join in!" Heiwa immediately said: "I can't say this anymore." Say it to your face with a thumbs up tomorrow. Lu Zhaopeng said: "Of course. You're still very righteous. Heiwa said, "It's almost dawn, let's sleep." Say it to your thumbs tomorrow. ”

When Heiwa woke up, it was the evening of the next day, and the lamp hanging from the wooden pole had been lit and shining in the red light of the setting sun. It was a basin made of cast iron, filled with sesame oil, burning a rolling pin-sized twist of oil, black smoke billowing and unburned e-liquid floc floating in the air. This is a sign of an important feast. There was a crisp sound of frying oil in the room. The brethren came and went in and out, and were clearly encouraged by the good wine and food. He found the cave where the thumb was. Thumbs up said with great interest: "The brothers have not been reunited for a long time, let's treat them today; second, to relieve your troubles; Three, you have a friend coming, this is your friend of life and death. Your friends are my friends, and they deserve to be treated. Heiwa wanted to tell Thumb Zhaopeng about joining the gang. The thumb still said aloud: "Let's eat first." ”

After eating and drinking, the bandits who had not yet drunk began to practice kung fu, some practiced boxing, some danced knives, some practiced marksmanship, some practiced climbing trees and climbing over walls, and some practiced binding the enemy. Heiwa led Zhaopeng into the cave of the thumb. Don't use a thumb to greet him, and don't talk about politeness: "My second thumb said you want to join the gang?"

"Yes." Zhaopeng nodded.

"Really?" Thumb sleeve asked.

"Really." Zhao Peng calmly affirmed.

"You say 'really' three times in a row." Thumbs up at him and said, "See if you can tell?"

"Hello, good!" Zhao Peng smiled with relief, "It's true to say it's true, and it's also half-truths and half-truths, but it's not entirely false." ”

"It's completely fake." Thumbs said disdainfully, full of confidence, and the calmness of his voice showed a clear and resolute affirmation, "You want to include my brother in your guerrillas." What are you into?"

"You are more accurate than the hexagram of the blind man of God." Zhaopeng was also very calm, without a trace of embarrassment of being exposed, and asked with a calm smile, "If you really want to do this, do you say it's okay?"

"Oh my God! The eagle in the air, the wolf on the ground, the flying and the running can't get together!" The thumb teased lightly, "You are a dignified ** leader, I am a bandit, why can't I get a ride!"

"We're pretty much the same. The amount of hanging on the scale is not much different. Zhaopeng was also a ridiculous tone, "Zishui County wants me to offer a reward of 1,000 yuan, and you are also a thousand yuan, we are worth a price!"

Thumbs up smiled. Heiwa couldn't help laughing, and the tension condensed in her heart suddenly relaxed; He never spoke, and after considering the relationship between the three of them, he decided that he did not have to speak; He only hoped that there would be no conflict between the two men, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations; He cherished the smile of his thumb, and tried to extend the relaxed atmosphere that had just appeared, so he said in a joking tone: "The '**' leader and the bandit leader in Zishui County are worth a price!" Wow, wow!"

Zhao Peng grasped the relaxed atmosphere at the right time: "I understand you. You are a awake (wise) carpenter. You're not a good monk. You will be a good commander of the Red Army, I am sure of that. It's a pity that you are the king of the mountains. I came to you because I saw your material......"

The thumb retracted his smile and said coldly, "I know you too." I knew you when I was a monk in Sanguan Temple. You are also an awakened person. But I don't want you in this stockade. I know your relationship with Heiwa. Heiwa is a reliable and righteous person. Heiwa is willing to go with you, I will let Heiwa go, and any other brothers who are willing to join the guerrillas with Heiwa will also let them go, and I will let them take the guys away together......"

Heiwa interrupted her thumb and said, "Big brother, where are you talking!" I have no two hearts with you, and I can swear by the heavens......"

Zhaopeng confessed frankly: "I just said, I have my eye on your piece of material. I want to work with you......"

Thumbs up to his interrupted words and continued, "I'm telling the truth. I understand that no matter who is in charge, there is no room for bandits. Now the Kuomintang is offering a reward for catching me, and one day in the future, ** will make the matter done, and they will still pick me up. If I can live until that day, you Zhaopeng will sit on the country and pick up my time, and you can give me a complete corpse. ”

Zhaopeng couldn't help but be moved: "What's the trouble with this? As soon as you enter the ranks of the Red Army, you will understand that you must live better than a bandit. Tell you, I'm not pulling you to the guerrillas at all, we have already built up a serious Red Army regiment, and the commander is trained by the Whampoa Military Academy......"

The thumb was not moved: "I just said that it came to an end, Heiwa will go with you if she wants to go, and if there are any brothers who are willing to go, they will also go with you, and everyone will take it away." Am I righteous? If you say anything else, if you can give me a corpse in the future, it will be considered a righteous friend!"

Heiwa reaffirmed: "I don't even care about the corpse now. ”

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "I didn't want you to go with me right now." I'll say hello to you, and you think slowly; When do you want to open it, say hello to me again, and I'll answer it. ”

Thumbs up: "That's good...... Let's talk about it later!"

Zhaopeng said: "We'll definitely meet again." ”
